However, on the second day, torrential rain and strong winds, reaching 20-30mm per hour, caused disruptions at the venue.The outdoor stage, 88 Lawn Field (Mint Breeze Stage), had its roof canopy collapse and some equipment damaged, leading to the cancellation of all remaining schedules around 4 PM. Additionally, the 88 Lake waterfront stage (Loving Forest Garden) also experienced water rising up to the stage, and performances were temporarily suspended due to growing safety concerns.Performances by SIBURAN(10CMX SORAN), Thornapple, N.Flying, and Far East Tigers were held as scheduled at the indoor venue, KSPO Dome. However, the organizers informed attendees of potential entry restrictions due to audience concentration.This is the first time in the 'Grand Mint Festival's history that a full refund for same-day tickets has been decided due to rain.sstar1204@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
